Stark Law / Anti-Kickback Compliance

Overview

Government prosecutions involving Stark and “anti-kickback” violations are on the rise. The Stark and anti-kickback laws, among others, affect how health care providers may refer patients, whether between separate health care institutions or individual doctors inside a common facility. Unless an exception exists, Stark prohibits billing government programs for a referral made by a physician who has a financial and/or ownership interest in the entity that performs the designated health service.
